Witless Bay council this past April approved an expenditure of $2,000 to host a social for members of the Witless Bay Volunteer Fire Department.
Councillor Ralph Carey said the event will be similar to the annual Firefighters Ball of years past.
During the April Fire Department committee report, councillor Justina Nawaz noted the department is looking forward to doing more outdoor training as the spring approaches, and that all equipment, including vehicles, is currently undergoing inspection to make sure everything is up to scratch.
The department boasts a membership of 31 volunteers and a paid chief.
